A fragment from the Evening Bulletin and Thurston's Advertiser discusses subscription pricing and campaigning methods, referencing labor, capital, and population policy. It notes the cost of campaign materials, calls for cooperation between labor and capital, and questions whether labor will be swayed by demagogic arguments.
A fragmentary report outlines tensions in a territory over land control and labor conditions. Names like Sowers Pink, Stephinson, Rosenstein, Calla, Heffernan appear amid accusations of coercive farming practices and questionable motives by Maguleo and others. The text suggests pressure to “Dig or Marve” and hints at paid advantages in a disputed plot.
In a detailed inquiry Thurston examines how Hawaii small farmers can compete with large plantations, asking for exact market prices, costs, and ten year trends. He questions farmers’ access to data, plans an agricultural and commercial banking analysis, and critiques The Bulletin’s reporting on Kona orphanages and sugar plantations.
Evening Bulletin reports the Navan Valley rapid transit line runs with two trolleys instead of four, causing long waits at termini Kingeteeet and makal end. Trains often speed, miss passengers, and provide no end-to-end rests for conductors, worsening connections and rider discomfort.
Fragmentary OCR notes reference the Rapid Transit Company with disjointed phrases about power and plans. Mentions of Vanierbilt and directors hint at corporate context, but text is garbled and lacks clear actions or outcomes. The fragment notes confuse readers with stray names and incomplete sentences.
A Waverly meeting of terriited liquor dealers discusses potential removal of beer licenses, legislative prospects, and opposition from wholesalers. Col. McCarthy and "Pup" Blinn are cited as speakers, with Governor Carter’s age works noted and plans for tomorrow’s session.
The Attorney General and judges shuffled a long list of territorial burglary and related cases. Defendants include Chane Hine and Hung, with actions ranging from first degree burglary to maintaining a lottery shrine and selling liquor without license. Jury lists and a mysterious box visit by a notable official wrap the late session.
The report on raw sugar from Cuba indicates a holiday week with subdued activity and gradual price support. It notes Cuban central sales, European market softness, and expected price maintenance into the immediate future while detailing duties, parity with beet sugar, and projected production for 1904 into 1905.
The document discusses jurisdiction over property in harbors and ports, arguing that Hawaii cannot cede taxation authority beyond three miles. It notes unresolved questions on whether Congress can authorize a national tax on territorial waters and the implications for Hawaii’s territorial powers.

The court directs the defendant to elect a remedy within five days after appeal of the writ of error covering the same matters. On April 20 the verdict was for the plaintiff for four thousand dollars.
The Jones murder trial began with juror challenges and voir dire. Deputy Attorney General Emill C.
